Learning Activity 4-C-1: Create a VoiceThread

Adrienne A. VoiceThread

Translation:
Hello. We have been studying money and the economy for a couple weeks. I imagine that you have some ideas of how and when you spend your money. In this activity, there are 3 pictures with different questions about the topic we are studying in class. You must choose 1 picture and record your answers to the questions for that particular picture.

Picture 1/Title page
Where do you get your money? Do you have a job or do your parents give you money when you need it? Do you prefer to spend or save your money and why?

Picture 2/“Forum europea”
When you think about how you are going to earn a living, do you think about the salary or the job itself and why? Are your ideas based on your likes or on what is happening in the economy now?

Picture 3/ “Querido Dinero”
Explain the main idea of this letter. Do you agree with the idea of a society that does not use money and why?
